Chicago's Favorite Son Goes to China
Patrick Chovanec's family's idea of a vacation was to pile into the car and drive to a national landmark. That all changed when his father decided to take the family to China in 1986. Since then, he has become one of the U.S.' primary experts on Chinese politics and economics. He has spent much of his life living in China since then. A college economics professor on two continents, Patrick Chovanec has traveled to over 50 countries, including being one of the few Americans to visit North Korea. Chovanec is a frequent commentator in both the international and Chinese media. His insights into Chinese economics, business, politics, and culture have been featured on CNN, BBC, PBS, NPR, CBS, ABC, CNBC, Voice of America, and Bloomberg, as well as many others. He recently earned his private pilot's license and wrote a book about that process.
